She is simply advocating some realism in career choices. Sure, some jobs pay better and earn more respect and glamor than others. That doesn't mean that those jobs are available to every one. No amount of "dreaming" will make me tall enough to be an airhostess! <br /><br />It is the responsibility of educators and career counselors to guide students into fields that match their aptitude, abilities and have some scope of growth. Not to herd them into a "fancy" job that they might be unsuited for. <br /><br />The (expensive) AHA training was funded by taxpayer money. It is therefore legitimate to question the amount of thought put into this experiment. Was it just a gimmick? <br /><br />I would be thrilled to see tribal women advance in life but some realistic guidance and foresight would go a long way.... for ALL young men and women.MCjeehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08403299053892432947noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9605787.post-61122900254736206872010-04-23T16:51:17.431+05:302010-04-23T16:51:17.431+05:30@rahul

True it is that everyone , no matter what their capabilities, want the "best job" -the "white collar job" as they say. But not all can get that. I think it has to be dinned into the public minds that you cannot get the best if you are not the best. And if you do well whatever you do, you will still be respected. "do well your job and there the Honour lies" . <br /> Your article is very thought provoking. <br />Rashmi Desailegalfundahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11895439983916082522noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9605787.post-48480435705398313982010-04-03T03:53:38.429+05:302010-04-03T03:53:38.429+05:30And where is he going to find the teachers?And where is he going to find the teachers?Balajihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03835374955490731007noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9605787.post-18854528918063196482010-04-02T14:11:24.981+05:302010-04-02T14:11:24.981+05:30What is the harm in studying fron Jhumritalaya eng...What is the harm in studying fron Jhumritalaya eng. college and thinking of working in Infy?Everybody has the right to dream of what they want to be.And we have seen so many cases that people who dream also make big in life!Then what the point in snatching away their aspirations from them?<br />On the one hand,you carry forward the point of thinking big and making big in like through ur books and on other u pen down such passimistic blogs!<br />That only shows,the hypocrisy present in so called famous educationist and bloogers like u.Ramhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07594788508546508642noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9605787.post-19237058743621582862010-04-01T21:17:12.339+05:302010-04-01T21:17:12.339+05:30The problem is not of just meeting expectations, w...The problem is not of just meeting expectations, we also have the problems such as social and economic gaps between the different professions.

Yesterday, I came across an interview with the Head of Swiss VET (Vocational Education & Training) in ToI. Many European countries esp. Germany, Holland, Austria (the ones with a very strong manufacturing sector) have successfully leveraged vocational training. Switzerland is a case in the point because it is also a services economy, like us. May be we can learn a thing or two from them.Rajarshihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00949837409466343426noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9605787.post-3585705081053202072010-03-25T11:31:46.509+05:302010-03-25T11:31:46.509+05:30Well written.

What they don't realize is that the so-called diploma holders have much more practical knowledge and are more likely to handle a situation effectively than a 'Degree' holder. Most of the 'degree' classes involve just sitting in a classroom anyway. The 'diploma' holders get their hands dirty.TasteMasterhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04214328037383271457noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9605787.post-3901683922340955942010-03-25T11:12:02.580+05:302010-03-25T11:12:02.580+05:30Very well said.

Vocational diploma courses do have a stigma on them right now, and that needs to go. We need to expand our horizon from the service sector (which runs on the dollar-rupee exchange rate) to a product sector. That's where China is scoring right now.Liberalhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09577916284904795147noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9605787.post-57419240053382113582010-03-25T10:10:06.350+05:302010-03-25T10:10:06.350+05:30Private education in India is being too commercial...Private education in India is being too commercialised.

Western nations have grown enough to ensure that even their citizens with vocational jobs can live a decent and comfortable life (ability to afford good food, shelter, healthcare and education for their children.) However, in India, only the top 30 odd percent can say the same. Everyone, for good reason, wants to be in this top 30% - for which currently there are few regular paths outside of engineering and IT. <br /><br />However, there has been considerable oversupply of graduates in these fields in the past few years, as there is now an engineering college at every street corner. It's unfortunate that the government is playing along and opening more every day. The only people this will truly hurt is the semi-literate poor who pawn their homes/ lands to send their kid to a no name engineering college, only to find that he can't even get a job that pays the interest on the loan. A truly responsible government will limit supply of engineering/IT seats based on demand and build a middle market in manufacturing/ infrastructure/ service sectors that can pay decent (though not on par with engineering) salaries to other grads. The problem, of course, is that such a move would be very unpopular because every Tom, Dick & Harry thinks that his kid will be the next Abdul Kalaam or Narayan Murthy, even if he gets only a 35/100 at school.Idling in Top Gearhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02440232972672349966noreply@blogger.com
